I can only see “create clone of spore” in the mouse sprite, which seems to only clone it if the mode is 1, show buttons is 0, and the player has the mouse point down and touching the border sprite.
When you made the sprayer, you set it to mode 2 for that, but that means what I said can't happen, and the value of show buttons was 1 for me when I checked (though it seems to have changed somehow).

Also, make sure to delete clones or sth because there is a 300 clone limit.

Bump

Have you double checked the cloning conditions? Perhaps add something to a list just before creatign each clone. If nothing gets added you never hit that code but if something does get added you either have no more clones available or the clone is hidden or off-screen or something like that.

updates in this order:

i added sprayer: i cant see spores
i added mouse and made mouse clone spores

the mouse used to have a trail made of clones

So have you tried disabling one of your changes to see if this is a number of clones problem which seems most likely? Surely you've done some sort of investigation yourself?

yes, it still doesn't work

i can't see the spores which maybe that they are not there
also spores wait 10 seconds and then they clone the moss and delete

So have you tried my suggestion to see if the conditions are met or are you just guessing the clone script is being triggered?

What's the relevance of that?

deck26

Where do you think the spore clone is going to be created? It's not created at your mouse sprite's position just because that's what creates it - it still inherits its position from its own sprite. I think the clones just get deleted immediately because of their position.

300 clones limit i think

maybe the problem is like this project

plssss see the project

RokCoder

when I start as a clone
go to [mouse-pointer v]
point in direction (pick random (-180) to (180))
go to [front v] layer::looks
show // The sprite has to be positioned and visible before using the touching block below
if <not <touching [border cover v] ?>> then
delete this clone
end
repeat (10)
change y by (-1)
end
wait (10) secs
wait until <not<touching [moss v]>>
set [x v] to (x position)
set [y v] to (y position)
create clone of [moss v]
delete this clone

it works
